Haven't done anything with memory so far, but I'm extremely sceptical. While a functional memory could be essential for e.g. more complex coding sessions with Claude Code, I don't want everything to contribute to it, in the same way I don't want my YouTube or Spotify recommendations to assume everything I watch or listen to is somehow something I actively like and want to have more of.

A lot of my queries to Claude or ChatGPT are things I'm not even actively interested in, they might be somehow related to my parents, to colleagues, to the neighbours, to random people in the street, to nothing at all. But at the same time I might want to keep those chats for later reference, a private chat is not an option here. It's easier and more efficient for me right now to start with an unbiased chat and add information as needed instead of trying to make the chatbot forget about minor details I mentioned in passing. It's already a chore to make Claude Code understand that some feature I mentioned is extremely nice-to-have and he shouldn't be putting much focus on it. I don't want to have more of it.
